The list of actors being roped in for Ajith’s next with Vishnuvardhan seems to be never-ending! While Nayanthara, Arya and Taapsee have been signed on to play the lead roles in this multi-starrer, we can tell you that two other prominent actors will also be added to the cast.
While it’s almost confirmed that Arvind Swamy will play an important character in the film, talks are on with some of the prominent Telugu actors, including Ravi Teja and Nagarjuna, for a powerful guest role.
A source in the know says, “Vishnuvardhan and his team are in talks with several leading actors for a guest role. They’ve spoken with Nagarjuna (who was supposed to work with Ajith earlier in Mankatha), Ravi Teja and Jagapathi Babu as of now. Prithviraj is also on the list. There’s a good chance the film will be released in Telugu as well, and it only makes sense to rope in another actor who is equally popular in Tollywood. However, the unit is in no hurry to finalise the actor now because the guest appearance portion will be shot much later.”
When contacted, producer A M Rathnam refused to divulge details, but added, “We’re working out the modalities, and an official announcement will be made in a couple of days.”
Thala recommends Ashwin Kakumanu
It looks like Thala has taken a liking to young actor Ashwin Kakumanu, with whom he worked with in Mankatha. The talented young actor is apparently on the look-out for performance-oriented roles and the buzz is that Ajith recommended him to Vishnuvardhan for his flick. Sources say that a preliminary meeting was held with the young actor and director. If Ashwin bags the role, it will be another winner in his kitty!
